Oak Orchard 5/18/21

Pulled into the ramp area next to Black North Inn at 6:45am,,,,, not a single trailer in the parking lot.  I immediately thought the water must be too low to launch.  Fortunately there is plenty of water at this ramp.  Fished until 3pm and never saw more than 5 boats.

picked up 3 lakers in 175fow then a small king in 150fow.  Lost another 4 fish, and a spoon, over the course of the day.

never saw what looked like a charter boat either.  In175fow and down 90 water temp was 41 deg.  Surface temp 52.

Best fishing on the lake right now. There had to be at least 100 boat from Wilson to the Bar. Full contact fishing lol

So was the Oak and Olcott. At the black north ramp (state ramp was not built yet) vehicles with boats were back up waiting to launch all the way back into the exit ramp on the parkway. at olcott the vehicles were back up on Jackson st onto rt 18 and onto the bridge over 18 mile cr
